EndGames Improv I : Essentials of Play
Pre-Requisite: None
This class is designed to maximize PLAY through teaching the essentials of what makes a good improviser, not just games or exercises that you can find in a book yourself. Our philosophy is that by breaking down our bad habits and honing our good ones, we are able to focus our skills and apply them to where they can be optimized - whether that's in our everyday lives at the office, improving our dating lives, actualizing our goals and ambitions or joining a team and performing on stage!
EndGames Improv II : Essentials of Performance
Pre-Requisite: Improv I (or instructor approval)
In this course we will learn the essential skills for a successful improv comedy show. Specifically, we will work on finding the game of the scene, and heightening for maximum laughs. By the end of the course, you will be able to identify strong game moves versus weak ones, learn how to play to the top of your intelligence, and discover that the key to being funny, is not to be funny.
Advanced Study: La Ronde
Pre-Requisite: Improv II (or instructor approval)
La Ronde is a long form improv format and technique originating in Chicago and named after the Arthur Schnitzler play: 'La Ronde'. This class will focus on training improvisers to make bold character choices and fine-tune hyper-awareness by breaking the class into smaller, more versatile performance-geared teams. In 8 weeks, this class will prepare students to open for EndGames' Friday night main stage show: 'F!#&ing Free Fridays'
